In a kingdom where marriages are decided like treaties, love has no place.
Seonghwa, heir to the throne, is about to marry a woman he has never chosen. Around him, everything is nothing but appearances: golden halls, rehearsed smiles, and vows shaped by the demands of the crown. His two brothers, Yeosang and Wooyoung, watch in silence, knowing that one day the same fate may await them.
But in the shadows of the ceremony, another force is preparing to strike.
Five pirates have infiltrated the palace. Led by Hongjoong, they have not come to admire the splendor of the court, but to oppose this arranged union. To them, freedom answers to no crown, and the sea bows to no king.
Between duty and desire, between land and ocean, destinies collide. An unexpected encounter, a stolen glance, a forgotten ring-small moments that begin to unravel carefully planned lives. As political tensions rise and loyalties are tested, each of them will be forced to choose what matters most: obedience, honor... or freedom.
In a world where alliances are forged and broken, nothing is ever left to chance. And sometimes, a single moment is enough to change the course of a kingdom.
